Hi Jatin,

You might find the Zend_Gdata library helpful. Here is a guide for how
to get started:

The library does not yet have classes which are specific to contacts,
but you can use the standard gdata classes and look for the contacts
specific elements as extension elements. If you need a hand please let
me know.

Happy coding,

Jeff

Hello Jatin,

Now that you have an authenticated client object, you can make a
getFeed requests against the URL to retrieve a feed for all of the
user's contacts. (see the documentation for details:
http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/developers_guide_protocol.html#Retrieving
and Zend documentation here http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.gdata.html#zend.gdata.introduction.getfeed
) The Atom XML response will be parsed and converted to a
Zend_Gdata_Feed object. This object will contain all of the XML
elements in the feed, but some of the contacts-specific elements may
be converted into an extension object and stored in the
extensionElements or extensionAttributes array. If you need help
working with extension elements and attributes, please let me know.

Happy coding,

Jeff
